Event

We will welcome you to our apple orchard for from October 1st until the mid-November. Why don't you try some apple picking, feeling a nice breeze of Japanese autumn? Harvest your own apples and eat them on the spot!

You can also make YOUR OWN 100% APPLE JUICE in the field, with a hand-squeeze juicer! With an additional fee, you can also make a bonfire in the orchard and cook a baked apple in it (with marshmallows, of course).

Introduction of Yokoya Farm

“Yokoya” is the name of our house and of the apple farm that we run. The reason why our house has a unique name is because houses are usually referred to by the name of the family living in it, but since so many people in this area share the same family name, each house has been given a unique name.

Our house is up on a hill above Matsumoto, about 15 minutes from Matsumoto castle by car, and about 15 minutes on foot from Matsumoto Alpspark. Our apple farm overlooks the city area, and is a very short walk from our house.It is very beautiful.

Our house is a classic farm house that has Japanese-style rooms and a garden and engawa (veranda in the house). It has been lived in carefully, and passed down from generation to generation.

Seasonal flowers bloom in the garden, which attracts many kinds of birds.
